In the Art of Becoming

As a Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist, Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor in Minnesota, and Anchored Relational Therapy Consultant, I offer clinical supervision and consultation grounded in trauma-informed care, cultural humility, and decolonized practice. I supervise pre-licensed LPC, LPCC, and art therapists working toward licensure and ATR credentialing, cultivating a space that honors both clinical development and the therapist's authentic self.

My supervision style is relational, reflective, and identity-affirming, rooted in the belief that each clinician brings a unique blend of lived experience, cultural context, and creative intuition into their work. I provide guidance in developing foundational competencies such as assessment, treatment planning, clinical documentation, ethical decision-making, and professional identity formation.

A core part of my work involves supporting clinicians trained in EMDR, Art Therapy, and Anchored Relational Therapy in learning how to thoughtfully and creatively integrate these modalities within a coherent clinical framework. I emphasize attunement, cultural responsiveness, and the expressive and relational power of the arts, helping clinicians translate theory into grounded, ethical, and effective practice.

In addition to clinical supervision, I offer individual and group consultation to clinicians trained in Anchored Relational Therapy as part of their certification process toward becoming Certified Anchored Relational Providers. These consultations focus on deepening relational presence, clinical application, case conceptualization, and fidelity to the Anchored Relational model while honoring each clinician's style, values, and scope of practice.

Supervision and consultation are spaces where we explore not only techniques and theory, but also relational resonance, transference and countertransference, self-regulation, power dynamics, and the therapist's presence in the room. I strive to foster relationships where curiosity is encouraged, complexity is welcomed, and both clinical confidence and inner clarity are cultivated over time. For me, supervision is not only about skill-building—it is a reflective, intentional space where the healing role of the therapist is held with integrity, care, and depth.

Understanding, Unpacking, and Exploring

My supervision and consultation work includes a sustained commitment to understanding and exploring how broader systems shape the inner lives of individuals, families, and communities. This includes:

• Examining the psychological and relational impacts of systemic oppression, white supremacy, colonization, war, enslavement, and imperialism across generations

• Exploring how trauma and oppression are embodied and expressed as emotional distress, relational patterns, and mental health concerns

• Holding an honest awareness of the limitations of psychology, psychiatry, and formal mental health care systems

• Actively examining my own role as a clinician, supervisor, and gatekeeper within systems that can perpetuate inequity, exclusion, and harm

• Supporting the de-stigmatization of mental health by challenging dominant social narratives, de-centering individualistic models of healing, and expanding definitions of wellness through reconnection to ancestral, cultural, and collective wisdom

Anti-Oppression & Anti-Racism Commitment

I approach supervision and consultation as an ongoing practice of learning, unlearning, and accountability. This includes:

• Continuing to educate myself through non-Western, non-Eurocentric theories, scholarship, and lived knowledge

• Unlearning internalized and unconscious patriarchal conditioning that limits vulnerability, connection, and relational depth

• Actively acknowledging, examining, and challenging my own implicit and explicit biases, fragility, limitations, as well as my areas of power and privilege

This work is not a checklist or a destination. It is an ongoing ethical responsibility, one that I bring into supervision with humility, curiosity, and a commitment to relational integrity.
